I'm not thrilled with my mileage (2018 Touring - about 15K miles on it), but not really complaining either. On a couple long trips (NJ to Indiana), I was averaging in the mid to high 30's mpg. See photo below for the usual. 26.5 overall, 26.4 on this tank and 35.2 on this drive. (No, I'm not driving and taking photos).

Is it safe to say the computer is pretty accurate?

I find the computer entertaining but will try the manual calculation just to see. My Forester and my wife's Outback ('17) are the first cars we had with these computers and I used to "do the math" for my previous cars just to know how many miles I had left on a tank. My favorite was a cross country (US - NJ to Oregon) in a 1977 Chevy Caprice V8. Money was tight and my friend and i had to track our expenses so we toyed with premium gas compared to regular. Got better mileage with the premium on the highway but the miles/$ was about the same.
